Glenn Greenwald Slams Democrats for Attacks on Anyone Skeptical of CIA Russia Assessment

by Josh Feldman | 8:00 pm, December 19th, 2016

Journalist Glenn Greenwald appeared with Tucker Carlson on Fox News tonight to criticize Democratic hysteria over Russia.

Greenwald separated the denials that Russia did this––which he doesn’t agree on––with reasonable skepticism of the report about a CIA assessment on Russian election interference.

He told Carlson that the mere asking for evidence “subjects you to accusations that you might be disloyal” in the “toxic environment” Democrats have created.

Greenwald recalled when the party mocked Mitt Romney four years ago for talking about Russia posing a threat, and contrasted that with all the heated rhetoric Democrats are throwing out now, “digging in further to this losing political attempt.”

in the Snowden files theft. Now he's denying the Russian hacking.

Just a coincidence I guess that Snowden is being put up in Russia .

Especially the Wiki leak lovers. They knew exactly what they were doing, now they're pointing fingers at everyone else. No credibility.

He'll fit right into the new Trumpist Order. He helped create it.
